Into A New Month

 I'm not ready for it to to be October because I know how fast the next three months will zoom by. September breezed by before I had a chance to take it in. Oh well, what can one do but live each day and try to appreciate each one. 

I have a few fall decorations out. Nothing new, just some old favorites.

Lauren sent me these two photos of the girls.

Adore these precious little ones!

Tallulah will be glad when Etta sleeps less and plays more, but thus far T has been a super sweet big sister.

Found that last farm painting...a small one to complete bedroom wall. 

 An enjoyable trip to Charlene's Christmas Open House in Halls was just what my friend Kim and I needed. 

 We also stopped in Ripley to browse through Outside the Box. I found one needlework picture I couldn't leave behind.

Today at Bible Study we finished Season 1 of The Chosen. The study book and Pastor Brad's comments have given me deeper insights into the story. I have watched all three seasons but am happy to study them with a church group. I would encourage anyone to watch this production.

Well, time to call it a night. I will be spending tomorrow with Lauren and the girls. 

Hello October

October is well underway, and I haven't made not one blog post for this month. Therefore, this will be a random mix of several October days.

I am enjoying my morning laps. The "dancing leaf" video I posted on Facebook was during one special walk.

 This tree is green for now, but soon it will be golden.

While strolling on an antiquing day, I admired this person's artwork. I googled her name and found out more about this Canadian born artist(1857-1945).

Friday night home football games have been fun, especially with Jo and Jeri.

 Besides the action on the field, I also love to people watch.

Sitting on the front porch we watched a stream of cyclists pass in front of our house. There were groups, pairs, and singles riding by on this Saturday's perfect  morning.

A recent trip to Hobby Lobby tempted me into buying four more pumpkins - a green, a yellow, a silver, and papier mache to paint and decorate.

This one should be should be fun to do. Polka dots, metallic gold, stencil design - ?

 

I LOVE OCTOBER!

Happy Colors

 

My Pumpkin Patch

HI and Happy Thursday. The plant stand was changed out from birdhouses and bird nests to lots of pumpkins. The bottom shelf may need a few more.  

Friday Facts

 We were supposed to be at tonight's football game at Munford High School, but a call to get help with a locked AOL account took a very long time. Talk about exhausting. Thank goodness, the technical support person was very patient throughout the whole process. 

I love technology but hate it at the same time.

Five years ago today I was at a wedding. Lauren and Justin married in Austin, Texas, on a very warm September evening. The programs were on hand fans to help keep us cool.

Yesterday's browsing turned up two new pumpkins - one for the inside and one to  use outside. 

 While I was in the living room snapping these two fall decor photos, I decided to take a picture of my husband's collection.  I have more collections than Corkey, but he has a few. This one is very impressive.

This senior citizen is about to call it a night.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Decorating!

Happy Fall!

A Quick Update

 Little by little I'm putting out fall decor.

Still painting every now and then

My dear daughter turned 40! I was looking at her baby books recently, and precious memories came flooding back.

Visits to see sweet Tallulah have been wonderful. We were there this afternoon and  enjoyed every minute.

September is a month that seems to go by quickly. Therefore, I'm hopping on here tonight to say "Hello" since lovely September days are moving along at a fast pace.
